Biography
Alvaro Herrera was born in Cali, Colombia, the younger brother of Helmer Herrera. The two brothers became involved with the Cali Cartel, a powerful drug-dealing syndicate that had connections across the world. In 1995, he travelled to Ciudad Juarez, Mexico with his brother for a meeting with Amado Carrillo Fuentes, the head of the Juarez Cartel; they both stayed at Carrillo's mansion overlooking the Texas border. One night, a squad of Norte del Valle Cartel hitmen assaulted the mansion in an attempt to assassinate Helmer Herrera, and they killed the butler and badly wounded Alvaro in the ensuing shootout. Helmer succeeded in killing all of the hitmen, and he managed to escape from Juarez with a wounded Herrera.
